Oxford and Cambridge = Oxbridge are not only the UK s most famous universities, and two of its highest ranking they re also different to other institutions in a number of key ways. The first key Oxbridge element is the college system. Oxford and Cambridge are each made up of colleges more than 40 at Oxford, more than 30 at Cambridge and prospective students usually choose a particular college to apply to. What is an Oxbridge college? It s basically a collection of buildings, often historic and attractive, which form a small self-enclosed community. Within each college complex you ll find student accommodation, common rooms, cafes and bars, library and computer facilities (often open 24/7), and offices for staff members. Welcome to Trinity College, University of Cambridge. Trinity was founded by Henry VIII in 1546, when he combined two existing colleges (King s Hall and Michaelhouse) and seven hostels (Catherine s, Garratt, Gregory s, Ovyng s, Physwick, St Margaret s, and Tyler s). Since then Trinity has flourished and grown, and is now a home to around 600 undergraduates, 300 graduates, and over 180 Fellows. Trinity exists to give its members a rewarding, richly resourced, and intellectually inspiring place in which to pursue their education and research. Princes, spies, poets and prime-ministers have all been taught here, and members of the College go on to a very wide range of professions and careers after taking degrees in all the subjects the University offers.

The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences is the oldest of the University of Cambridge museums, having been established in 1728 as the Woodwardian Museum.

A walk through the museum will take you on a 4.5 billion year journey through time, from the meteoritic building blocks of planets, to the thousands of fossils of animals and plants that illustrate the evolution of life in the oceans, on land and in the air.
